    Splitting or panning Guitars?

    I have a set of infinity components in my Cherokee, and when I use a flattened EQ setting on my head unit it's pretty spot on with my KRK 6CL's. Only difference is the KRK's have a lower frequency response. (The head unit, and one pair of speakers cost me about $500 just to give a comparison...

    Do I need a DI box to record bass?

    I can't believe I didn't think to mention used gear. There is lot's of it out there right now, and for cheap too! At least if your in the US, i can't speak for other countries.

    Do I need a DI box to record bass?

    I bought a $120 Ibanez brand new. It was the Cheapest bass I could find, I put some Ernie Ball Slinky strings on it, and it works great for what I need it for. But, a better instrument will yield better results.

    Windows VS Linux

    I had thought about trying out a linux Rig for a while just to have an excuse to play with Ubuntu, but it's just such a huge pain to get everything working, and that's assuming every thing can be made to work. So, I said F-that until then. However if your having problems with windows I feel for...

    Which DAW is best for home recording?

    I did it because I am bored. Even though this is just as relevant as "My dad can beat up your Dad!".

    Do I need a DI box to record bass?

    As it's been said you don't need a DI box with your interface. But you will need software amps if you want to hear anything tasty. I recommend IKmultimedias X-Gear. It's free, has two guitar amps, and one bass amp. I can't speak for the guitar amps, but the Bass amp is FANTASTIC! Here is a...

    Must restart Reaper for playback after recording

    I'd be willing to bet it has something to do with the USB drivers for the 0202, Because my 0404 PCI works flawlessly with reaper. I'd hit Google, and also check the Reaper.fm forums.

    stereo/mono question

    Sounds more like a setting with your Firestudio. I read through the Manual of your Interface, but it wasn't of any help to me with out the hardware, and software. But, there is probably a setting or level within the Universal Control software you have to change so that you are only hearing the...

    Which Would You Choose?

    For recording all I need is a compressor. I record everything into a DAW. My guitars, and bass are DI'ed with VST amps using IR's for Cab's. My drums are Superior Drummer 2.0 with Metal Foundry SDX. Vocals I use a Dynamic mic because growling screaming vocals just don't work using a condenser...

    I've come to the conclusion that a studio sound is only found in ... a studio

    And that's just sad that it's like that. Because I know if it wasn't for the experienced people who have worked in the industry, or still do. I wouldn't know how to do 1/100th of the stuff I can do.

    I've come to the conclusion that a studio sound is only found in ... a studio

    Toneport isn't all that bad. Actually it's one of the more popular interfaces for guitar players on a budget. What really makes the difference is the amp/cab simulation software. One of the best on the "pay for" side of things is Revalver MKIII. On the Free side of things is NickCrows 8505, or...

    I've come to the conclusion that a studio sound is only found in ... a studio

    That guitar is for the most part 100% natural. The signal chain is Guitar->mixer->computer->free ampsim vst->ears->enjoy! That's why I posted it. Yes there is a little EQ'ing in there, but only to lift the high end a tad, and a tad being 1-2db. Check out the link to the site I mentioned in...

    I've come to the conclusion that a studio sound is only found in ... a studio

    Forgot some stuff!! 1) Like many have said above. Having the distortion at 100% is just not necessary. 2) Yes to have a "studio" sound you need to be in a "studio". But, you can get the same results as a "studio" with a $40 mic pre, and a Sure SM57. Note: I only used the SM57 as an example...

    I've come to the conclusion that a studio sound is only found in ... a studio

    I have been playing guitar for about about 11 years now, and have been working on teaching my self the recording process just as long. I didn't hit the point to where my friends couldn't tell my recordings from a "studio" recording till about 3, or 4 years ago. Every day since then the...

    With what gear did you make your 1st recording?

    My 1st recording was done with a guitar distortion pedal acting as a DI box, Drum one shots, and Acid Pro 3. Just thinking about those day's makes me shake my head.

    Why digital is superior to analog

    That's what I was more or less talking about. In turn I may have relayed that information wrong, because what I remember from that class is spread pretty thin these days. Especially seeing that the only thing I ever have to worry about is not going past 0db.

    Why digital is superior to analog

    Depending on the tape you can go up to something like +6db. I think there were some cases where you could even go to +8db. But, I can't say for sure as that was a while ago, and I am 100% digital with no analogue experience. With digital you go passed 0db, and you are distorting. This is just...

    Why digital is superior to analog

    I think trying to determine/argue why one is better than the other is like arguing why the color blue is better than red. Neither one is just better, and they both have their place. Analogue gives you much more head room. Digital allows for super easy/fast nondestructive arrangement (and that's...
